what to eat after gallbladder surgery
Posted: 02-13-08 19:05pm

i had my gallbladder removed February 11th. i am only 17 and i had crystals on all of the lining of my gallbladder. i went home that night and was still in a lot of pain. my pain pills have helped but when i was released i was told i could eat a normal diet, at least that is what the doc said. Confused my nurse said that i should eat bland for a couple days. i don't really know what would be considered bland and what isn't. what kinds of foods are good to eat? Confused

When I think of "bland" I think they mean, soups, crackers, toast, jello etc. Maybe some noodles. What do you feel like eating? That might be more important to go by.

Hi nedoglover,

I had my gallbladder removed Feb 8th. After my surgery I ate light for a few days. Broths or chicken noodle soup, jello, lots of water and juice. A couple of days later I moved up to soft foods, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, soup.

Now I'm eating a more normal diet, but staying away from high fat foods, milk products(except yogurt), and soda, because not only does it cause bloat, but also diarrhea.

You have to try different things and see what you can tolerate best.
